Man accused of killing and eating a dog during a drug-fueled rampage

[Cali_Democrat]

A man high on synthetic marijuana killed and ate a 30- to 40-pound dog, according to police.

Michael Daniel of Waco, Texas, was charged on Monday for an incident earlier this month in which he allegedly got down “on his hands and knees and chased a neighbor while barking and growling like a dog,” according to KWTZ.

Daniel then took a black dog onto a house's front porch, beat and strangled the canine and then “began to bite into the dog, ripping pieces of flesh away,” Waco Police Sgt. Patrick Swanton told KWTZ.

Daniel allegedly told neighbors he was high on synthetic marijuana, sometimes called K-2.

1. How come no one ever goes about picking up litter

or cleaning house while high on bath salts?

[RitchieRich]

3. They do!

...it just occurs in a horrifyingly vicious manner.

9. That would not make news.

That could happen all time.

2. This k2 shit sounds awesome!

6. Labeling error. This guy accidentally bought some K9

13. Bad!! Bad!!!

Just so you know, you've damned me to hell for laughing at that.

4. There is no such thing as synthetic marijuana.

Heckuva job Arianna, you idiot.

12. Ya...I've never heard of synthetic marijuana

I thought marijuana usually makes people very subdued and calm. People high on regular marijuana usually don't devour dogs.

14. It seems to be a catch-all term for synthetic cannabinoids.

And where I've seen some scary things regarding some of the synthetic cannabinoids (like the JWH series), I've never heard of anything crazy like this. I'm kind of doubting that K2 caused this man to go batshit insane. But then again, little testing has been done on these drugs, so it might be possible.

23. He got a bad case of the munchies ...

Thank you! I'll be here all week! Thank you!

15. K-2 is marketed as synthetic marijuana.

Although it is actually just dried herbs sprayed with chemicals, none of which are cannabanoids.

[tridim]

17. Actually it's marketed as incense..

and "Not to be taken internally".

Where have you seen it marketed as "synthetic marijuana"?

[morningfog]

19. Head shops.

[tridim]

20. You can't even say that word in head shops.

I'll look next time, but I find it hard to believe that word would be allowed on advertising in the head shops.

21. The JWH series of chems (found in K2) ARE synthetic cannabinoids.

But people make the mistake of thinking that synthetic cannabinoids are the same thing as THC and the other cannabinoids in marijuana. It's far easier to self-titrate with real marijuana, it's rather hard to smoke too much and get very uncomfortable. Also, you tend to get only so high with marijuana at which point you'll reach a plateau. Most of these synthetics don't really have a plateau or have a much higher one. So smoking as little as 5mgs or so of them can cause extremely unpleasant effects.

16. I just googled K-2. here it is

http://www.k2drugfacts.com/

And there is a domain for ksincense.org that has been taken over by ICE/Dept of Homeland Security.

Guess this is the latest, greatest new thing after Bath Salts.

5. If he thought he was a dog, it's the cannibal apocalypse

[LiberalEsto]

7. That poor dog!

It must have suffered horribly before it died. I hope it has a peaceful and loving afterlife with the Goddess.

8. More zombies? I thought the CDC said there was no such thing!:

[DontTreadOnMe]

10. They should relabel the drug as "Zombie"

Is Liquid Plumber "Synthetic Marijuana?... notice the media is trying to link drug abusers on various chemicals as "marijuana related".

11. I know it happens sometimes where you randomly get a spurt of some kind of story

like when were going through that cute white girl abduction phase even though it isn't statistically significant.

But it really seems like there are a lot of zombie attacks lately.

18. Couldn't he have just gone to Taco Bell for a dog meat meal?

[undeterred]

22. That poor dog.
